Hey Edmonton! Did you know your Uber app can do more than just take you places? Yep – you can now use Uber to pick up and deliver packages right from your door to wherever you need. That means its easier than ever before to grab something from a friend or family member, send a gift, or bring home something you bought from someone locally.
It’s super easy. Just open your Uber app, choose the delivery option (often called Connect or Courier) and enter the pickup and drop-off info just like you would request a ride. A driver will show up, meet you curbside, grab the item, and then bring it straight to the recipient – all tracked in real time on your phone. You can even share the delivery status with the person getting the package so they know when it’s arriving.
People are using this for all kinds of things:
-
Picking up a care package from a friend
-
Delivering a birthday gift across town
-
Collecting something you bought locally and having it brought right to you
Pretty sweet, right? Best of all there’s no mailing label to fuss with — no post office trips, no waiting in line. Just quick, same-day pickup and delivery using the Uber tools you already have – pop it in a bag and its ready to go!
